How to Create a PDF Link

1. Log in to your Orangedox account. Your account can be seamlessly synced with either Google Drive or Dropbox, eliminating the need to upload files.

2. Navigate to the PDF - With seamless integration to your Google Drive or Dropbox, you’ll be able to simply select your desired document without needing to upload it.

3. Create a Shareable Link - Choose the type of link you want: long, short or custom URL. As well as configuring the security settings, such as disabling downloading or adding device-level access restrictions to prevent unauthorized sharing.

4. Track engagement - Use Orangedox’s tracking features to monitor who views your PDF including how long they view each page for.

Orangedox also supports a wide range of file types for sharing and previewing, making it an all-round flexible platform for document management. In addition to PDF’s, users can share and preview Microsoft Office documents such as Word (.docx) and PowerPoint (.pptx), Google Workspace files like Google Docs, Google Slides & Sheets, as well as multimedia formats like .mp3 audio files & .mp4 video files. The platform also accommodates a variety of image files (jpg, jpeg, png, tiff, gif & bpm).
